Answer:
x = 8, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 12y = 60
x + 2y = 14
3x - 12y = 60
3x + 6y = 42 (multiply by 3 so the x is the same as the top equation)
6y = 18 (subtract the equations)
y = 18 / 6
= 3
To find x, substitute y into the 2nd equation since it is the simplest so:
x + 2(3) = 14
x + 6 = 14
x = 14 - 6
= 8
